Looking Back on September 2024

DSAW-Central

September was a busy month for the Central chapter! We all got together and played a round of mini golf. Some were rockstars on the course getting a hole in one, while others didn't keep score! To end the month, Central hosted their 1st Darts For Down Syndrome fundraiser. 24 dart players from all over Central WI came out to throw darts for Down syndrome. We had so much fun that we decided to make this an annual event!

DSAW-Chippewa Valley

On Sunday, September 29th the Chippewa Valley chapter held their 18th Annual Awareness Walk. With beautiful weather and with over 500 people, this walk was a huge hit! This year they raised $43,000 for their chapter, WOW! Way to go Chippewa Valley!

DSAW-Fox Cities

Fox Cities Xtreme Air nights are back on for the fall & winter! Kids and parents had a great time jumping!

DSAW-Green Bay

September was a busy month for the Green Bay Chapter, with everything from race cars to Brewers games to dental experiences to Sign-N-Play and our amazing Awareness Walk! Families were able to enjoy so many new and fun experiences.

DSAW-Sheboygan and Surrounding Counties

The Sheboygan and Surrounding Counties 15th Annual Mini Golf and Awareness Walk was a huge success! With mini golf, princesses, balloons, the 21 Showcase, and more, our DSAW family members enjoyed the beautiful Sheboygan weather as they celebrated their self-advocates!

DSAW-South Central

South Central had its Pillars of Success Walking & Running Club in September! We had a lot of fun and we’re ready to go for the Ice Age Mammoth Challenge in October!


Home and Community Based Services

Community Connections

We had a lot of fun in our Community Connections program in September! We met up with Pets Helping People, who brought in some friends for us to meet! Next, we went to the Honey Creek Orchard in Cedarburg. Then, we played a friendly game of Pickleball with the Chaverim program and Friendship Circle. September wouldn’t be complete without some awesome parties—like our movie night, Packer party, and then heading to a Brewer game! We also went Mini Golfing and to the Milwaukee Harvest Fair!
